Question by

Committee Chair

Subject

Q1 17/18

Mr Ben Bolgar

Councillor Wigens

Sherford Review Panel

Question:

 

Does the committee think removing the Sherford Review Panel (the expert panel formed to uphold design standards) and removing significant mandatory elements of the Town Code (retail/building materials) will substantially increase car journeys and allow for the dumbing down of design quality?  If not can they evidence the response?

 

Response:

 

The application is not seeking to undermine the overall vision for the new community, and indeed, the existing conditions and obligations that control the spatial vision for the development would be retained.  Whilst a number of mandatory requirements from the existing code are proposed to be removed, this is to enable more flexible solutions at the site, to enable Sherford to respond to demands and external influences.  The application proposes alternative means and processes to ensure that subsequent design standards are achieved and must be agreed before work on the detailed designs can begin. 

 

The application is on the Planning Committee agenda for Members to consider the appropriateness of removing the Sherford Review Panel and revisions to the Town Code.

 

 

25.
